Shadow Mountain Rockclimbing fiend

Pluto watched as the ivory wolf trotted into the darkness besides him, swiftly expressing a small noise of interest as he padded towards one side of the cave. Eliciting curiosity, Pluto tailed him and padded over, dark gaze catching the pale object complete with crumbling antlers and an aura of ancientness. While he had never seen a deer skull with his own two eyes, he had heard tales about them from his old family members and had seen the head of a deer enough times to recognize it in the shape of this old skull. Ishi pondered at the strange skull, and Pluto huffed slightly before responding in a matter-of-fact tone. "Maybe a mountain lion? Bobcat? Any big feline?" He barked, lifting a clawed toe and prodding the side of the ivory surface, where deep fangmarks could be seen in the dim light. They looked pretty large, large enough to be around the size of a wolf, but wolves weren't really made for climbing or dragging such large beasts up into places like this one.

Mind firmly set on the predator being a large feline, Pluto turned and padded deeper into the cave on light toes to see if there were any other interesting artifacts buried deep within the chilled ruins. Suddenly, his form reappeared from the shadows, jaws clamped around what seemed like a thin leg bone of what had to have belonged to the deceased deer itself. More deep fangmarks were dug into the sides, but the coyote was relieved to find that the cat hadn't cracked it open to drink the sweet marrow, which he swiftly began to do himself. It tasted old and bitter, almost ashy on his tongue with age. Pluto shuddered before dropping the bone and scraping his fangs along his pale tongue, wishing to wash the taste from his mouth.
